Abstract
In this cathode ray tube apparatus, correcting coils (33, 34) are disposed near the deflection center in the deflection unit and are formed as low inductance of 1mH or less electrically independent from the deflection unit. Further, the correcting coils (33, 34) are connected to the distortion correcting current source provided independent from a main deflection current supply source that supplies an electric current to main deflection coils (30, 31) in the deflection unit, and generate the almost uniform magnetic field by the electric current supplied from the distortion correcting current supply source. Further, a first inductance element connected to the deflection coils is so magnetically coupled to a second inductance element connected to a correcting coils as to compensate induced electro magnetic force which is produced due to an interlinkage of the deflection magnetic fields.
Description
- The present invention relates to a deflection unit having a distortion correcting coil in a cathode ray tube apparatus, and more particularly to the cathode ray tube apparatus such as a color cathode ray tube apparatus that is possible to correct arbitrary distortion of an image.
- Generally, in the color cathode ray tube apparatus, three electron beams emitted from an electron gun are deflected in a horizontal and vertical directions by the magnetic fields which are generated from the deflection unit and are directed through apertures of a shadow mask into a fluorescent screen. Thus, the fluorescent screen is scanned by the deflected electron beams in the horizontal and vertical directions so that an color image is displayed on the fluorescent screen. As such a color cathode ray tube apparatus, an in-line type color cathode ray tube apparatus is the main current, in which three electron beams arranged in the same plane.
- In such a color cathode ray tube apparatus, in order to obtain a good quality of the image displayed on the screen, it is important to improve an image distortion, for example, the distortion of raster. In a conventional tube apparatus, the image distortion is usually adjusted by distribution of the magnetic fields generated from the deflection unit. However, recently, in the color cathode ray tube apparatus, a deflection angle is widen and high quality is seriously requested. Because of the widen deflection angle and the high quality, it is difficult to make the image distortion less only by adjusting the distribution of the magnetic fields generated from the deflection unit and the request to the image distortion is severer.
- There is disclosed a method of improving the image distortion and purity and convergence characteristics in Japanese Utility Model Disclosure No. 60-32871, in which a correcting coil unit as shown in FIG. 1 is assembled in the tube apparatus. The correcting coil unit has a structure that six sets of
coils 2 are wound on twelve protrusions provided inside an annular body 1, in an apparatus provided with the correcting coil unit, the image distortion, the purity and the convergence are corrected by energizing eachcoil 2. That is, two of six sets of coils cause two sets of NS magnetic poles as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B by turning on the electricity and cause themagnetic field 4 shown by dot lines to displace theelectron beams 5 in the direction shown byarrows 6 and to provide correcting effects of the image distortion and the purity to the electron beams. Other four sets ofcoils 2 cause four to six NS magnetic poles as shown in FIGS. 2C through 2F by turning on the electricity and cause themagnetic field 7 shown by dot lines to displace threeelectron beams 5 in the direction shown byarrows 8 and to provide the correcting effect of the convergence to the electron beams. - An advantage of the correcting coil is that it is possible to adjust arbitrarily correction of the image distortion and the purity, therefore, to possible to realize advance of the image distortion and the purity characteristic. However, when correcting the image distortion by using the correcting coil, a problem is caused that not only the image distortion but also the purity (the purity of color) are changed. This problem is described as follows.
- Usually the characteristics of the image distortion and the purity of the color cathode ray tube apparatus depend on a deflection angle of the electron beams by which the fluorescent screen is scanned. Here, there will be considered a correction of the distortion in the vertical direction, the distortion being applied to an image on the fluorescent screen, which is formed by the electron beams deflected by the magnetic field generated from the deflection unit. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, if the correcting
magnetic field 13 generated from a correctingcoil unit 12 disposed behind thedeflection unit 9 is the uniform magnetic field in the same direction as that of a vertical deflectionmagnetic field 10 generated from thedeflection unit 9, the sum of amount of the magnetic field contributing to the vertical deflection is increased, theelectron beams 5 that should be reached a point P will be reached a point P1 outside of the point P and it will be possible to correct image distortion. However, at the same time, as the correctingcoil unit 12 is disposed behind thedeflection device 9, the center of the deflection is moved from O to O1 backwardly, when the electron beams are reached thefluorescent screen 11, deflection angles of theelectron beams 5 become smaller and incident angles into the shadow mask are changed to have an effect on the purity characteristic. That is, though it is possible to correct arbitrarily the image distortion at each point on the screen substantially by the correctingcoil unit 12, the purity characteristic is changed at the same time and uniformity of the screen is damaged remarkably. Further, the correcting of the image distortion by the correctingcoil unit 12 causes cost more expensive. - As another method to correct the image distortion in the vertical direction, there is a method that adjusts finely amount of the deflection by the main deflection coil in the deflection unit itself. As in case of correcting the distortion by a high frequency signal, for example, correcting the image distortion formed in a part of a horizontal scanning region, it is demanded that a high frequency modulating signal about ten times of horizontal deflection frequency is supplied. However, in this method, because inductance of the vertical deflection coil (Usually the vertical deflection coil of the cathode ray tube apparatus for TV has the inductance larger than 1 mH) is too large, load is increased, as a result, a problem is caused that necessary high frequency correction voltage becomes larger as it is hard to make practice.
- As described above, as the method to improve the image distortion characteristic of the color cathode ray tube apparatus, a correcting coil unit has already known that six coils are wound on twelve protrusions provided inside of an annular body and the image distortion, the purity and convergence are corrected by energizing the coil. In this correcting coil unit, it is possible to correct the image distortion or the purity by energizing six sets of coil to form two magnetic poles.
- However, when the image distortion is corrected by using the correcting coil unit, the purity is varied accompanying it and uniformity of the image on the screen is damaged remarkably. Variation of the purity characteristic is a serious problem in the color cathode ray tube apparatus having the screen that each color fluorescent layer is formed as a dot type. Further, there is a problem to increase cost in this correcting coil unit.
- As another method to correct the image distortion, as mentioned above, there is a method to adjust finely amount of deflection by the deflection coil in the deflection unit itself without using a particular coil unit. However, as inductance of the deflection coil is too large in this method, there is a problem that the load is increased in case of correcting the high frequency distortion and the actually necessary voltage for the high frequency correction becomes larger impractically, therefore, it is hard to adopt this method.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a cathode ray tube apparatus possible to correct image distortion without having an effect on purity characteristic by using a correcting coil unit.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a color cathode ray tube apparatus comprising:
a generating means for generating electron beams;
deflection means for having a deflection center generating the magnetic field which deflects the electron beams the deflection means including a main deflection coil;
a screen for emitting light rays when the screen is scanned by the deflected electron beams to display an image;
a vacuum envelope in which the generating means is stored and having an inner surface on which the screen is formed;
first supply means for supplying a main deflection electric current to the main deflection coil of the deflection means;
correcting means for correcting distortion of the raster on the screen, the correcting means including correcting coils electrically independent from the main deflection coil, the correcting coils disposed around the center of the deflection and having low inductance of 1 mH or less;
second supply means for provided independent from the first current supply means and supplying a correcting electric current to the correcting coil of the correcting means, the second supply means causing the correcting coil to generate the almost uniform correcting magnetic field around the center of the deflection. - As mentioned above, in the color cathode ray tube apparatus in which the correcting coil is provided electrically independent from the deflection unit and generates the almost uniform correcting magnetic field near the deflection center in the deflection unit by supplying current from the correcting current supply source, independent from the main deflection current supply source, to the correcting coil, it is possible to generate the desired correcting magnetic field without displacing the deflection center in the deflection unit.
- As a result, it is possible to avoid variation of the purity correction even if correcting the image distortion, i.e. raster distortion.
- Further, if the correcting coil has a low inductance of 1 mH or less, preferably, about 100 µH, the load applied to the correcting coil is reduced when a high frequency curren is applied to the correcting coil and good response in the high frequency of about 1 MHz is obtained. Further, degradation of convergence characteristic in correcting the distortion is prevented by generating the almost uniform correcting magnetic field.
- In case of the cathode ray tube apparatus used for a computer display, in the high frequency of about 1 MHz, almost of the load of the coil is a component of the inductance, when the high frequency correcting is performed in the usual current supply circuit, responsibility is degraded by a transient phenomenon. Therefore, considering following property, the correcting coil is preferably the impedance of 100 µH or less. Further, to obtain a good correction sensitivity, the correcting coil is preferably the impedance of 20 µH or more.
- It is possible to reduce the induced electro magnetic force that is not preferable for the deflection of the electron beams, which is caused by interlinkage flux between the main deflection coil and the correcting coil, when the main deflection coil in the deflection unit is connected to a first inductance element in series and the correcting coil is connected in series to a second inductance element which is magnetically coupled to the first inductance element.
- Further, it is possible to make the structure of the inductance element simple in which the first and second inductance elements are provided on the same magnetic material by winding several times or on the annular magnetic material forming a closed circuit by winding more than once.
- Further, it is possible to match the induced electro magnetic force generated in the inductance element with the induced electro magnetic force generated in the main deflection coil and is possible to improve the compensation effect of the electro magnetic force by connecting the first or second inductance element with a resistor or a capacitor that deforms a wave form of the induced electro magnetic force generated in the first and second inductance element.

- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the color cathode ray tube apparatus. As FIG. 4 shows, the apparatus comprises an envelope which is composed of a
panel 20 and afunnel 21. Thefunnel 21 is formed integral with thepanel 20 and has aneck 24 and alarge part 26. The apparatus further comprises afluorescent screen 22, ashadow mask 23, anelectron gun assembly 25, and adeflection unit 27. Thescreen 22 consists of a number of layers provided on the inner surface of thepanel 20, in the form of either stripes or dots. These phosphor layers emit light when excited. More precisely, some of them emit blue light, some others emit green light, and the others emit red light. Theshadow mask 23 is provided in thepanel 20 and located behind thefluorescent screen 22. Hence, themask 23 faces thefluorescent screen 22. Theelectron gun assembly 25 is arranged in theneck 24 of thefunnel 21, for emitting three electron beams aligned in a line in a horizontal plane. - The
deflection unit 27 is mounted on thefunnel 21, at the junction between theneck 24 and thelarge part 26. Theunit 27 is designed to deflect the electron beams emitted from theelectron gun assembly 25. A correcting coil unit is attached to thedeflection unit 27, for eliminating distortion of the image formed on thefluorescent screen 22 as will be described later. - The
deflection unit 27 and the correcting coil unit have structures as shown in FIGS. 5 and FIGS. 6A and 6B. FIG. 5 shows a cross section of thedeflection unit 27, as viewed along the tube axis. FIG. 6A and 6B shows relationship between a circuit diagram of the main deflection coil of thedeflection unit 27 and that of the correcting coil unit. - As shown in FIG. 5, the
deflection unit 27 consists of a pair of horizontal main deflection coils 30 that are disposed at upper and lower inner sides of an ellipsoidcylindrical mold 29, a pair of vertical main deflection coils 31 that are disposed at left and right outer sides of themold 29, and a core 32 disposed outside the horizontal and vertical main deflection coils 30 and 31. The main deflection coils 30 and 31 are formed by saddle winding. The horizontal main coil 30 is divided into a pair of coils 30 HT and 30 HB, both arranged symmetrically to the X-axis and generates pin-cushion shape magnetic field. The verticalmain deflection coil 31 is divided into a pair ofcoils 31 VL and 31 VR, both positioned symmetrically to the Y-axis and generates barrel shape magnetic field. - The correcting coil unit has a horizontal correcting
coil 33 and a vertical correctingcoil 34. Thecoil 33 eliminates or reduces horizontal distortion of a raster, caused by the horizontal main deflection coil 30. Thecoil 34 eliminates or reduces vertical distortion of a raster, caused by the verticalmain deflection coil 31. - The horizontal correcting
coil 33 consists of a pair of correctingcoils 33 HT and 33 HB located symmetrically to the X-axis at almost the same positions as those of the coils 30 HT and 30 HB of the horizontal main deflection coil 30. The the vertical correctingcoil 34 consists of a pair of correctingcoils 34 VL and 34 VR positioned symmetrically to the Y-axis at almost the same positions as those of a pair ofcoils 31 VL and 31 VR of the verticalmain deflection coil 31. Each ofdistortion correcting coils 33 HT, 33 HB, 34 VL and 34 VR is located near the deflection center of the deflection device. More precisely, the divided correctingcoils 33 HT and 33 HB are have their deflection centers located near the deflection center of the horizontal main deflection coil 30, and the correctingcoils 34 VL and 34 VR have their deflection centers located arranged near the deflection center of the verticalmain deflection coil 31. The term "deflection center" means a point on the tube axis, at which a magnetic field has a peak intensity. - The correcting coils 33 HT and 33 HB of the horizontal
distortion correcting coil 33 are connected as shown in FIG. 6A. The correcting coils 34 VL and 34 VR of the verticaldistortion correcting coil 34 are connected as shown in FIG. 6B. Inductance of the horizontal andvertical coils - As shown in FIG. 6A, the coils 30 HT and 30 HB of the horizontal main coil 30 are connected in parallel. An
inductance element 35 is connected in series to the divided coils 30 HT and 30 HB and also to a main deflectioncurrent supply source 60 by theinductance element 35. Thesource 60 supplies a main deflection current. The correcting coils 33 HT and 33 HB of the horizontal correctingcoil 33 are connected in series. Aninductance element 36 is connected in series with the correctingcoils 33 HT and 33 HB and also to a correctingcurrent supply source 62 that supplies an independent correcting current. Further, theinductance element 35 is magnetically coupled with theinductance element 36, thereby to compensate for the electron magnetic force induced between the horizontal deflection and correcting coils. - As shown in FIG. 6B, a pair of
coils 31 VL and 31 VR of the verticalmain coil 31 of thedeflection device 27 are connected in series. Aninductance element 37 is connected in series to thecoils 31 VL and 31 VR. Thecoils 31 VL and 31 VR are connected in series to a main deflectioncurrent supply source 60 by theinductance element 37. Aresistor 38 or a capacitor is connected in parallel to theinductance element 37. Further, the correctingcoils 34 VL and 34 VR of the vertical correctingcoil 34 are connected in series. Aninductance element 39 is connected in series to the divided correctingcoils 34 VL and 34 VR. The correctioncurrent supply source 62 independent from the main deflectioncurrent supply source 60 is connected by theinductance element 39. Theinductance element 37 is magnetically coupled with theinductance element 39, to compensate the electromagnetic force induced between the vertical deflection coil and the vertical distortion correcting coil. Theresistor 38 or the capacitor connected to theinductance element 37 in parallel causes the waveform of the electromagnetic force generated in theinductance element 37 to mach the waveform of the electromagnetic force generated in the verticalmain deflection coil 31, so that the compensation may be achieved more effectively. - The horizontal
distortion correcting coil 33 and the verticaldistortion correcting coil 34, described, above, may be manufactured by the same method. Therefore, it will be described how to manufacture thecoil 34 only, with reference to FIG. 7. Assume that a jig is used to form the coils 30 HT and 30 HB of the horizontal main deflection coil 30 and thecoils 31 VL and 31VR of the verticalmain deflection coil 31. First, awire 41 is connected at one end to a terminal 42A. Then, thewire 41 is wound around the jig, forming the verticalmain deflection coil 31. Next, thewire 41 is connected at two parts toterminals wire 41 is wound around the jig, forming the vertical correctingcoil 34. Then, thewire 41 is connected at the other end to a terminal 42D. Finally, thewire 41 is cut at the part extending between theterminals - In this method, the vertical correcting coil may be first formed and the vertical main deflection coil may then be formed.
- The method is advantageous particularly when the main deflection soil is made by using a slot-type winding jig which allows the wire to be wound at any desired position. In addition, the correcting coil can be manufactured at a low cost since it is formed simultaneously with with the main deflection coil.
- In color cathode ray tube apparatus described above, the distortion of the image can be eliminated or reduced without changing purity. In the conventional apparatus, the correcting coil is disposed behind the deflection unit (at the neck side), and the correcting magnetic field is generated at the back of the deflection center of the deflection device. Therefore, to eliminate or reduce the distortion of the image by the correcting magnetic field, the deflection center must be displaced backward, inevitably changing the purity. In the color cathode ray tube apparatus of this invention, the correcting coil is provided near the deflection center in the
deflection unit 27, the center of the deflection is not displaced when generating the correcting magnetic field, and an incident angle to a shadow mask does not change at all. Therefore, the distortion of image can be eliminated or reduced without changing the purity. - A
magnetic field 45 almost uniform may be generated in the same direction as that of the vertical deflectionmagnetic field 44 generated from thedeflection unit 27 as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. Then, three electron beams, which would be deflected to point P on thefluorescent screen 22 if the correctingmagnetic field 45 are not not generated, are deflected to a point P1 outside of the vertical direction without displacing the deflection center O in thedeflection unit 27. It is possible to eliminate or reduce the distortion of the image in the vertical direction, without changing the purity. Similarly, it is also possible to eliminate or reduce the distortion in the horizontal direction, without changing the purity, by supplying the correcting current to a pair of the divided coils 33 HT and 34 HB of the horizontal correctingcoil 33. - The coils 33HT and 33HB of the horizontal correcting
coil 33 and thecoils 34 VL and 34 VR of the vertical correctingcoil 34 are connected to the distortion correcting current supplying source. The distortion correcting current supplying source is independent from the main deflection supply source that supplies the current to the horizontal and vertical main deflection coils 30 and 31 in thedeflection unit 27. Therefore, it is possible to supply the arbitrary current so as to correct the desired distortion of the image. Furthermore, since the inductance of the horizontal and vertical correctingcoils coils amplifier portion 47 for amplifying the correcting voltage as shown in FIG. 9. - Moreover, as indicated above, the
inductance element 35 connected in series to the divided coils 30 HT and 30 HB of the horizontal main deflection coil 30, theinductance element 36 connected in series to the divided coils 33 HT and 33 HB of the horizontalmain distortion coil 33, theinductance element 37 connected in series to the divided coils 31 VL and 31 VR of the verticalmain deflection coil 31, and theinductance element 39 connected in series to the divided coils 34 VL and 34 VR of the vertical distortionimage correcting coil 31 are combined magnetically. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the influence on the beam deflection, imposed by the electromagnetic force generated in the main deflection coils 30 and 31. Without theinductance elements electromagnetic force 51 generated, as shown in FIG. 10A, between the terminals of the verticalmain deflection coil 31, due to the correcting current 50. This is because the current 50 is a high frequency pulse wave that flows in the divided coils 34 VL and 34 VR of the verticaldistortion correcting coil 34 since the interlinkage magnetic field that is generated between the vertical main deflection coil and the vertical correcting coil, imposing adverse influence on the verticalmain deflection coil 31. In contrast, thanks to theinductance elements electromagnetic force 51 can be controlled, as illustrated in FIG. 10B corresponding to FIG. 10A. - A method of eliminating or reducing the distortion of the image will be described in detail. The
coils 34 VL and 34 VR of the vertical correctingcoil 34 of the correcting coil are formed by winding wires in the same winding grooves as the coils 31VL and 31 VR of the verticalmain deflection coil 31. Theinductance element 37 connected in series to the coils 31VL and 31VR and theinductance element 39 connected in series to thecoils 34 VL and 34 VR are wound by 150 and 25 times around a drum type ferrite core having a diameter of the core of 5 mm and a length of 13 mm. The drum type ferrite core (not shown) is provided outside the deflection unit, imposing no influence on the deflection of the electron beam. The total inductance of thecoils 34 VL and 34 VR is 30 µH, the inductance of theinductance element 37 is 1.6 µH, the inductance of theinductance element 39 is 37 µH, and the inductance of the whole vertical correcting coil system (the coils 34VL and 34VR and inductance element 39) is 70 µH. - The structure described above is sensitive enough to eliminate or reduce the vertical distortion of image larger than 1 mm, by applying a correcting current of 100 mA. Therefore, variation of the electron beams landing on the fluorescent screen can be decreased to less than 1 micron. Further, it is possible to eliminate or reduce the arbitrary distortion of image, up to the high frequency of about 1 MHz.
- In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the inductance element connected to the horizontal main deflection coil in the deflection unit, the inductance element magnetically coupled to this inductance element and connected to the horizontal correcting coil, the inductance element connected to the vertical main deflection coil, and the inductance coil magnetically coupled with this inductance and connected to the vertical distortion correcting coil can be made by connecting insulated electric wires to the horizontal main deflection coil, the horizontal correcting coil, the vertical main deflection coil and the vertical correcting coil, and by winding these wires around the drum type core 54 made of ferromagnetic material such as ferrite. (The
inductance elements - As shown in FIG. 12, an inductance element can be formed by passing an insulated
electric wire 57 connected to the main deflection coil (or the correcting coil) through the center of the annularmagnetic material 55 forming a closed circuit, and by connecting an insulated electric wire 56 to the correcting coil (or the main deflection coil) and winding the wire around the annularmagnetic material 55 more than once. If made by using the annularmagnetic material 55, the inductance element is particularly simple in structure. - The correcting coil and the main deflection coil are formed integral in the embodiment. Instead, this correcting coil may be made independent of the main deflection coil and may be installed near the deflection center of the main deflection coil. The correcting coil may be wound in the winding groove provided inside the deflection unit. The correcting coil may be composed of one or both of the horizontal and vertical distortion correcting coils.
- A desired correcting magnetic field can be generated without moving the deflection center in the deflection unit, by positioning the correcting coil near the deflection center (the correcting coil having low inductance of 1 mH or less and electrically independent of the deflection unit), and by forming the structure that generates an almost uniform magnetic field from the current supplied from the distortion correcting current supply source independent of the main deflection current supply source which supplies the deflection current to the main deflection coil. Even if the distortion of image is eliminated or reduced, variation of the purity characteristic can be avoided. In addition, it is possible to good response to the high frequency, by decreasing the inductance of the correcting coil to 1 mH or less.
- Moreover, it is possible to reduce the induced electromagnetic force which affects the deflection of the electron beams and which is generated by interlinkage magnetic flux between the main deflection coil and the correcting coil.
- Further, the inductance element can be made simple, by winding a first inductance element and a second inductance element around the same magnetic material, several times, or around the annular magnetic material of which the closed circuit consists more than once.
- The electromagnetic force can be effectively compensated for, by making the force generated in the inductance element agree with the electromagnetic force generated in the main deflection coil by connecting the first and the second inductance elements with the resistor or the capacitor that changes the waveform of the electromagnetic force generated in the first and second inductance elements.
- The present invention can be applied to both a stripe-type fluorescent screen and a dot-type fluorescent screen. It is particularly advantageous when applied to a dot-type fluorescent screen because a degree of additional coverage to displacement of landing of the electron beam is small.
